Review – The C.1 Vibrator, by LAID

Review – The C.1 Vibrator, by LAID

While at the AEE/AVN adult entertainment expo last month, I had the delight to meet the designers and manufacturers of this great new clitoral vibrator – the C.1, made by the creative minds at Laid.com in Norway.

For decades, Scandinavians have been leading innovators in everything from audio equipment to furniture, and Laid is a welcome addition to the luxury pleasure products sector.

After chatting with Laid’s Design Director and Co-Founder, Iren Andersen, I was immediately hooked on their product line. All of which are elegant, discreet, ergonomic, and have all of the great design features I look for in pleasure products. Needless to say, I was very excited about being offered a review sample for Sssh.com and EroticScribes.com.

Later that same day, the C.1 Vibrator from Laid won the 2014 AVN O-Award for Outstanding Female Product!

About the C.1 Clitoral Vibrator

Manufacturer’s Description: The C.1 Vibrator has a distinct rounded shape with varying surface areas and angles providing for a multitude of ways in which to stimulate the clitoris and surrounding areas. The studded pattern amplifies the sensation of vibration and/or additional friction. Placing a finger or two through the center of the C.1 allows for penetration whilst stimulating the clitoris. With 2 speeds and 1 pulsation, the C.1 is ideal for playful solo and partner exploration.

What immediately impressed me (beyond the truly elegant packaging and detail instruction manual) is the sheer simple versatility of the C.1. It’s velvety surface feels good to the touch, and it is just the right size to hold comfortably in a variety of positions:

Laid C-1 Vibrator Variations Of Use

One additional variation of use not shown on the diagram is that the center hole is a perfect fit for most luxury vibrators on the market. Nice Bonus! It can act as a vibrating clitoral stimulation ring to double the pleasure while doing G-Spot or vaginal penetration. The center hole is also just about the right size to slip over an average man’s penis, adding many more delightful possibilities for couples play.

Let’s take a peek at the instructional video created by the folks at Laid….

Coleen’s Test Drive of the C.1 Clitoral Vibrator

Eager to try out this new erotic work of art, I first had to charge the battery. Rather than the typical “plug in the wall” charger for pleasure products, the C.1 comes with a USB charging cable that pops right into a laptop, iPhone charging cube and many other electrical sources. No, it’s not one of those gadgets you plug into your iPod to dance along with your music playlist. This is far more elegant that that little tech trick we’ve all seen already from other manufacturers! First-time charging was complete within an hour and I was ready to give it a try.

Operation of the single control button was easy and comfortable to the touch. To turn it on, I just pressed the button for 2 seconds and it automatically started vibrating at the lowest level of intensity. A second press of the button ramped up the vibration power significantly.

As shown in the “variations of use” diagram, I went to work on exploring the different ways to use the C.1. I found that the ring made it very easy to hold in pretty much any position I could think of to stimulate the clitoris, labia and surrounding areas. Pressing one side of the C.1 against my clitoris with the ring pointing down, it did a great job at clit stimulation while the rest of the ring carried the vibration pleasingly to my labia.

Flipping it around, I was pleased to discover that the “skinny end” was a powerful way to introduce pinpoint stimulation right where I wanted it.

There is also a clever studded pattern on the top of the C.1 that really ramps up the sensation ranging from a gentle tickle if applied lightly, to more friction when more pressure and a rubbing pattern is introduced.

Lastly, I gave the possibility of finger penetration for G-Spot stimulation a try and it worked like a charm. So much in fact I quickly had a bone-rattling orgasm! Now on my wish list is Laid’s D.1 Silicone Dildo to use in conjunction with the C.1 clitoral vibrator!

The C.1. is also completely waterproof and I look forward to some bathtub fun in the near future.

Cleaning was simple. Mild soapy water did the trick in moments and the lovely storage box does a great job of keeping the C.1, its USB power cord and the instruction manual all in one discrete package.
